Matters needing attention in hedgehog culture
Although the hedgehog is small, it has delicate meat, rich nutrition and strong medicinal value, but with the mass killing of human beings, the number of hedgehogs has decreased sharply, so it has been listed as a second-class protected animal by the state. However, with the development of breeding industry, hedgehog breeding industry is also on the rise, artificial breeding hedgehogs are very popular in the market, whether as medicine, food or pet breeding. But what should we pay attention to when raising hedgehogs? Many people do not know, the following pro-agricultural network to bring you a detailed introduction.
1. Culture environment
Hedgehogs are timid, quiet and easy to be frightened, so when raising hedgehogs, try to keep them in a quiet environment, not near downtown and highways, which will frighten hedgehogs and affect their growth. And hedgehogs are afraid of light, mainly active at night and latent during the day, so pay attention to this when breeding. In addition, the breeding space of hedgehogs does not need much, generally every 30 commodity hedgehogs occupy about 10 square meters of space.
2. Feeding
Hedgehogs are omnivorous animals, and hedgehogs mainly prey on invertebrates and small vertebrates as well as melons and fruits. Therefore, artificial breeding should provide meat, with other grain by-products, vegetables and so on, in order to meet his normal needs, but also can feed beetles, snails, earthworms and other insects.
3. Hibernation
Hedgehog is also an animal that hibernates. It hibernates when the temperature is below 7 degrees. It can hibernate for as long as 4-5 months. During hibernation, the body temperature drops and the physiological function weakens. It is best to be in a quiet environment during hibernation. If hibernation ends early, it may starve to death. After hibernation, but when the temperature reaches more than 10 degrees, the hedgehog will be extremely thirsty, to provide adequate and clean water, it is best not to feed milk, otherwise it will lead to death.
4. Reproduction
Hedgehogs begin to be in estrus after hibernation, so they should be prepared for breeding. If they are not mated in time, it may lead to group fighting and casualties. The general pregnancy period is about 60 days, during which the food supply is adequate, the management is proper, the cubs can reproduce twice a year, and the survival rate of the cubs is high.
5. Disease control
Hedgehog is extremely adaptable, its diseases are also less, there are no infectious diseases, generally only feeding and sanitary measures are done well, there are few diseases, the main diseases are gastrointestinal, dermatosis, parasites, the risk of these diseases is small, very good treatment, with human drugs can be cured.
The above are the hedgehog breeding points for attention brought by the pro-agricultural network, about what the breeding hedgehog should pay attention to here, hope to help you, more farming knowledge, please pay attention to the pro-agricultural network.
